Books and Bikes

Colin came home with the cutest "book" that he wrote at school.

Definitely hit home, especially when he read it to us that night.

 Here I am, with Wolverine claws.

 Here is Maggie with Sai's (Ninja Turtle weapons) in her hands.

 Here is Mommy, Daddy, Maggie and me all happy.

 Here we are very sad, cause the baby went to Heaven.

 And now we're happy again because the baby is with Jesus.  He's an angel.

And...it took everything in me not to bawl like a baby.

If you didn't know, I had a miscarriage last week (15 weeks pregnant) and we had multiple conversations with the kids about the baby and why Mommy and Daddy were so sad.

I guess they really do listen.

So sweet.

But, life does go on, and we had a couple of days of beautiful weather to have some fun.

Colin insisted on riding his bike this past weekend.  He really hasn't shown much interest in it, but all of a sudden, it's his new favorite thing to do!

 I love that we live in a cul-de-sac with hardly any traffic (and if there is ever a car, they are going about 15 miles an hour).  

 Can't wait til we get a little more confidence built up.

 Brian being the coolest Daddy around

 Mags even got a turn

We had so much fun outside today.

Got the cars washed, played with neighbors, cleaned out the garage some, gave the boys haircuts, grilled outside for dinner, it was awesome.

We are ready to say goodbye to winter...hello spring!
